Timeguard PDFM1500 - Manual (Page 2)

1
Introduction
The PDFM1500.1 utilises passive infrared technology to
detect heat radiation of moving human bodies.Upon
detection, the lighting load will illuminate for
a user-determined time period. An integral daylight
sensor ensures all day or night-only operation.
Important Information: Light Pollution and
Considerate Lighting
Please be aware of the annoyance over-lighting an area
can cause to your immediate neighbours. Light
pollution caused by incorrectly installing a unit or
over-lighting an area can be limited by carefully
considering the location and position of your unit
before installation. The light spread on all halogen
floodlights can be reduced by angling the floodlight
downwards on the mounting bracket. This will also
concentrate the light on your property and limit the
potential inconvenience of the light shining into your
neighbours windows etc.
Please see Selecting a Location for information on
choosing the optimum location for any security light
controlled by this unit.

Parts included
• PIR Sensor unit.
• Instruction manual. Please keep safe for future
reference.
• Accessory Pack. Includes cable clamp wiring cover
and 2 x screws.
Tools and parts needed
• 3 core flexible cable.
• Electric/hand-held drill & bits.
• 65mm or 2.5 inch diameter hole r.
• Terminal or Electricians screwdriver.
• Small philips screwdriver.
• Wire
• Suitable mains interconnect cable.
This product is suitable for indoor use only. Connected
load must not exceed maximum 2300W halogen
or 400W fluorescent/low energy lighting.
Do not to install if you are suffering from
nausea or dizzy spells or on medication with similar
side effects. If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Not suitable for use with discharge lighting.
Selecting a location
The motion detector has a number of detection zones,
at various vertical and horizontal angles as shown (see
diagram A).
A moving human body needs to cross/enter one of
these zones to activate the sensor. The best all-round
coverage is achieved with the unit mounted at the
optimum height of 3m.

Walk Test Procedure
TIME - Fully anti-clockwise (Test Mode)
DUSK - Fully clockwise
The unit will now operate during daytime as well as at
night, illuminating the lamp for approx. 5 seconds each
time. This allows testing to be carried out to establish
whether the sensor is covering the required area.
The lamp will immediately illuminate as the unit goes
through its "warm-up" period. A approximately 1
minute the lamp will extinguish. Try to remain outside
the detection area during the warm-up period.
Walk around the sensor to establish the detection area.
The sensor will detect within an approximately 9 metre
diameter circle from the centre of the sensor location with a
3m ceiling.
As you cross a detection "zone" the lamp will illuminate.
Now stand still until the lamp extinguishes (this should
take approx. 5 seconds).
Start moving As you cross each
"zone" the lamp will illuminate.
Repeat the above, walking at various distances and
angles to the unit. This will help you to confirm the
detection .

Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to
ensure optimum performance. See diagram A detailing
detection range and direction.
The sensor is more sensitive to movement ACROSS its
field of vision than to movement directly TOWARDS
(see diagram B). Therefore position the unit so that the
sensor looks ACROSS the likely approach path.
Avoid positioning the sensor where there are any
sources of heat in the detection area (extractor fans,
tumble dryer exhausts etc.) including opposite any
other light sources such as other security lights.
Reflective surfaces (ie pools of water or white-painted
walls) and overhanging branches may cause false
activation under extreme conditions.
During extreme weather conditions the motion sensor
may exhibit unusual behaviour. This does not indicate
a fault with the sensor. Once normal weather conditions
return, the sensor will resume normal operation.
Connection
Connect the mains supply cable Live core (brown) to L
and Neutral core(Blue) to N terminal.
Connect the lighting cable Neutral core (blue) to N
and Lighting Live core (brown) to the L1 terminal
on the unit as follows (see diagram D):-
NEUTRA L (Blue) N

LIVE (Brown) L1

Set the two adjustment controls on the side of the
unit (diagram C) to the following positions:
When wiring is complete, fit the cable clamp wiring
cover to the sensor unit with the 2 screws provided.
(diagram E)
TIME -Fully anti-clockwise (Test mode).
DUS K - Fully clockwise.
Push back the locating springs (diagram D) and feed
the unit into the ceiling void via the 65mm hole. The
locating springs will now fold back and hold the
PDFM1500.1 in place.
Installation
IMPO RTANT
Switch off the electricity at the fuse box by removing the
relevant fuse or switching off
the circuit breaker before proceeding with the installation.
All should be installed by competent person in
accordance with IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671)
choosing a suitable location (see previous section)
install the unit as follows:
The unit is suitable for connection to a 230 V ac 50Hz
electricity supply. It is suggested that 3-core round
flexible cable of 1.5 sq. mm gauge is used. An isolating
switch should be installed to switch the power to the unit
ON & OFF. This allows the sensor to be easily switched
off when not required or for maintenance purposes.
Mark the position of the 65mm diameter locating hole
centre taking care to avoid ceiling joists and other
obstructions within the 65mm diameter. Drill a pilot
hole to take the centre of the hole r. Use the
hole to cut the required hole.
